Since he stepped up into a big role 2 weeks ago, SDC defense has gone from shaky at best to dominant. One was against a very good Colts team, the other was against the lowly Jags... but still. Good stuff.

Anyone have an update on how he played today?

I watched the game. He had one big play against the run where he stopped Henne for a loss on a 3rd and short read option play. Other than that nothing big. Didn't get targeted much in coverage and if he did it was all short and in front of him.

He did not play in nickel situation and they played all the fourth quarter in nickel. Looks like for now is a two-down LB.

He's been, really, a non-factor this year. But he's a rookie and I think he can improve to be a good pro. I really don't see "greatness" here like with Kuechly.

Needs to drop weight and stay on the field for more downs.


Stupid that he's one of the most hated....But that's more anti-ND than anything IMO

That probably has to do with the fact that he has only played in a couple games this year due to injury. lol

Yeah, I understand that...and don't take this as me "not liking" Teo...but even when he's in the games, he doens't have that "it' that I see from guys like Kuechly.

I want to see more.

Such BS.

No. They hate him because he completely made up some BS story about a girl that didn’t exist so he could get attention for his own Heisman campaign and nearly pulled it off… And his BS school and AD who cried on cue protected his crap.

That’s the narrative that media ran with in the first few days of that **** storm... and that’s the impression that stuck with anyone who really didn't pay extra attention… like it or not, we all know where the real BS is, but ND peps are in the minority here.

I still have students and co workers who talk about him like he's so diabolical for “making it all up, completely on his own."

Yup. Deadspin ruined him with their bullsh*t conjecture. Which they refused to acknowledge errors in until well past it being too late... and now only casually go "welllllll.... I guess he most likely got fooled because he's an idiot...."

Te'o will never be liked by the "general populous" kind of like how LeBron will never be accepted after The Decision no matter how much he dominates. You can't shake initial media driven perception. But most people who actually know anything about sports know the truth and that's all that really matters. As an aside, every chance you have to support anything Te'o you should take.

I mean, do you blame them? With evidence like this, how could anyone think he wasn't involved..

If literally any other news organization besides Deadspin broke the story it would've played completely different. ESPN had the story first and was sourcing it and researching... Deadspin did the exact opposite and even twisted it to be what they wanted because they hate Notre Dame + it was juicier.

I agree. ESPN knew about this and wanted to get all the facts in order before they threw him under the bus.

Deadspin doesn't care.

The stupidity to do what he is alleged to do is minimal in comparison to the stupidity for the general public believing him.

Makes me sick that Te'o is on this list with all the illiterate thugs in the NFL. F*ck you, Deadspin.

Edit: Here's the Forbes study referenced in the Tweet.

Did anybody watch the Chargers game today? He had 9 tackles so it seems like he played well but Morris had 120 yards rushing and the Redskins won so I was just wondering if he actually made an impact.

He had a really nice tackle for loss on an RGIII option.
